| Exalt and crown the hour | C |
| That girdles us and fill it full with glee | D |
| Blind glee excelling aught could ever be | D |
| Were heedfulness in power | C |

| All that your soul contains | B |

| Of all scope dispossest | G |

| If I have seen one thing | H |
| It is the passing preciousness of dreams | B |
| That aspects are within us and who seems | B |
| Most kingly is the King | H |
